magicdog March 14, 2019 Share March 14, 2019 Looks like it's getting a re-release for its 35th anniversary!! I must go to this! Especially since I saw the film for the first time in theaters way back when! There will also be some exclusive clips from Season 2 of Cobra Kai (for those of you who have not yet seen it, I highly recommend it!) 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/92062-the-karate-kid-1984/
raven March 14, 2019 Share March 14, 2019 35 years, ughhhhhh 😮 I also saw it in the theaters back then. Thanks for this - it is showing near me so I will probably see it. I agree about Cobra Kai, it was great! 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/92062-the-karate-kid-1984/#findComment-5129504

ShadowHunter March 21, 2019 Share March 21, 2019 I loved this film as a Kid. I am still a fan to this day. Daniel could be a real jerk though and wow in the 3rd movie could have slapped him. William Zabka a great 80's jerk. Still he made Johnny an interesting character not just an average movie bully. Great soundtrack as well. Who could ever forget Mr. Miyagi he was great. Love in Part 2 when he goes back home. It was nice of Daniel to go with him. Pat Morita brought such heart and soul to the character. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/92062-the-karate-kid-1984/#findComment-5145175

That's because he wasn't the villain, he was an antagonist. The movie made the wise choice of having Kreese be the true villain. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/92062-the-karate-kid-1984/#findComment-5145561

I haven't checked out the Cobra Kai series on Youtube Red which updates the lives of the characters but the reviews have been fantastic. 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, 8.9 rating on IMDB.

Too many streaming services. Cant get all of them. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/92062-the-karate-kid-1984/#findComment-5146616

Patton Oswalt wrote "The Johnny Lawrence Story" which connected them all together: And a music video of the "William Zabka Trilogy": 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/92062-the-karate-kid-1984/#findComment-5147761
Luckylyn March 22, 2019 Share March 22, 2019 I really loved the Karate Kid and particularly loved the second film. Someone made this hilarious video pushing the idea that Daniel was the real villain. How I Met Your Mother’s Barney’s love of The Karate Kid and his belief that Zabka was the real hero was so much fun especially when Ralph Macchio and Zabka appeared on the show. Zabka ended up a recurrent guest star as part of Barney’s circle of friends in the final season. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/92062-the-karate-kid-1984/#findComment-5148379
